The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Lamont WILSON, Defendant-Appellant.
Judgment of conviction (Ann E. Scherzer, J.), rendered September 23, 2016, affirmed.
We are unpersuaded that the bargained-for sentence imposed upon defendant's conviction for aggravated unlicensed driving - payment of a $500 fine - was unduly harsh or excessive, and find no extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence in the interest of justice (see People v. Fair, 33 AD3d 558, 558 [2006], lv denied 8 NY3d 945 [2007] ). The defendant was sentenced in accordance with his bargained-for plea and should not now “be heard to complain that he received what he bargained for” (id. at 558, quoting People v. Chambers, 123 AD2d 270, 270 [1986] ). Although defendant now claims that he is indigent, he never sought relief from the fine by way of a CPL 420.10(5) motion for re-sentencing (see People v. Toledo, 101 AD3d 571 [2012], lv denied 21 NY3d 947 [2013] ). Our disposition is without prejudice to such a motion being made by defendant.
